Mouseover healing - using the tank as the main while sending signals to the healer

[torytrae]

I have this setup as well now. Works okay. The only issue I have is that it sometimes takes 2 seconds until my healer reacts to the mouseover? Anyone else having those "laggish" issues somehow? My connection is usually around 250 ms.

I do have some random times where the mouseover works funny, but I think that's due to my current laptop trying to handle 4 instances of WoW (only 2GB RAM). When my new rig arrives this week I will test it out and I hope to no longer have bugs.

What version of pitbull are you using currently. I am using Pitbull 4 and I cannot find in the options where to include Player frame in the party to sort. Are you using v3 or 4. Otherwise the mouseover healing has been working fairly well for me.



Edit: Does anyone use an addon that can sort the player frame with the party frame? I've tried pitbull 4 and ag_unitframes.

I am sad. No one knows of an addon that does something like this? Includes your player frame as part of the party frame. Then allows you to sort by alpha or some other way.

Pitbull DOES allow this but I haven't dug around to find where the option is. Honestly, Pitbull will take a couple hours to customize, but once you get used to it then changing things is very quick and intuitive. The option is there but you need to hunt for it. I don't know which version, so just download the most recent release.

In the newest version of Pitbull 4 it's real easy to find

Groups -> Party -> Include Player (check box)

Sort method "By Name" is on the same panel.

Must of just been the most recent version then. Sounds good. I have been looking forever and a day for something like this.

Are you guys aware of any way to accomplish this on a smaller screen where you have to have the Windows overlapping? I dual box on my laptop sometimes when I am out of town and it is only a 15.4 monitor so it makes the healers window really small when I try to have both windows viewable without overlapping about a third of the screen. I have been attaching another 15 inch LCD but lugging it around can be a pain.

Also, I wanted to mention how great these forums are. I haven't posted a problem before but I have been lurking for about a year and got great advice from you guys.

There is an easy way I use that might work.

Try something like this script:

<Hotkey LButton>
<PassThrough>
<If MouseIsOverWindowRect Wow1 517 299 30 30>
<SendLabel Healer>
<Key F1>

<Else If MouseIsOverWindowRect Wow1 548 299 30 30>
<SendLabel Healer>
<Key F2>

Key F1 is bound to macro that heals Shaman and Key F2 is bound to a macro that heals the Warlock. You click on that rectangle and book, the healer macro kicks off instantly (use /stopcasting obviously). No lag as it sends a keysrtoke straight to the Healer's screen. It uses extra keybindings, but hey, we got a ton of them. Now, just change the coordinates that I have to be where your Toon's Icon is and when you left click on him, he gets healed.
